Two Kinds of Happiness

By -

There are two kinds of happiness - the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that results from the thorough transformation and development of the mind. We can see in our own lives that the latter form of happiness is superior because when our mental state is calm and happy, we can easily put up with minor pains and physical discomforts. On the other hand, when our mind is restless and upset, the most comfortable physical facilities do not make us happy.

The bigger happiness is the one we work hard to attain and is more satisfying in the end.

That's why I always prefer the latter. I can put up with anything as long as I have peace of mind.

I definitely agree. May I add a passage from the Bible that says "don't look at temporal things but set your eyes on eternal things. Temporal things fades but eternal things lasts." Following this principle, one will attain genuine happiness.

For me, Happiness is part of our life, a cycle either we are happy of sad. Be thankful for what we have.

The more enduring kind of happiness is what we should seek in this world.

Actually there are 31 TYPES OF HAPPINESS but to sum it all it breaks into two, the EGO'S HAPPINESS and TRUE HAPPINESS.

This is true. Everything we experience are the sense of AWE and WONDER from past to present. From real life to a so-called a make believe LIFE.

Of course, I will go for the second type of happiness because it is long lasting.

Happiness derived from getting the material things and happiness derived from achieving inner peace. The former is temporary and the latter is permanent.

Romantic Movie in Filipino setting takes another leap in Momol Nights, an iWant movie original streaming free online. The movie stars promising actress Kim Molina and Kit Thompson under the direction of Benedict Mique, Jr.
Having Molina in the cast you can expect a great comedy acting, from stage to TV series to Movies, Molina proves she can handle well in delivering all needed for a character that need to be seen and felt by the audience. And that’s the very reason I watch Momol nights, because that’s how I adore this promising actress that I’ve seen first in a theater production of “Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading lady.”
In Momol Nights which is acronym for Make out, Make Out Lang style of dating that usually involve lust or sex and nothing else, the movie is centered on Molina’s to die for searching for a man of her dreams, and achieving that is taking an option of One Night Stand only to give in her desire of finding Mr. Right.
